Barring Diabetes diligently Walk

Among those who are physically less active and exposed to high risk of diabetes, people who are more often on foot turns out to be rarely having diabetes. Within walking distance is the recommended 10,000 steps every day. In every 2,000 steps equals one mile (1.6 km). According to a study published in the journal Diabetes Care, mentioned that physical activity is very important for preventing diabetes. In fact, the activities of light as a hike can be a good investment for health.

Several studies have indeed hooked between walking habits with low risk of diabetes, but so far have never mentioned how many steps that must be done.

Amanda Fretts, Chief researcher of the University of Washington, do some research by asking for 1,800 people use pedometers in their waistline over the past week to find out how many steps they clearly walked each day.

The respondents in this research comes from the original community in Arizona, Oklahoma, and North and South Dakota, which is known to have low levels of physical activity as well as high-risk diabetes.

Almost a quarter of the respondents noted very rarely moving, just walking 3,500 steps per day, while half goes less than 7800 steps per day.

At the beginning of the study, all of the respondents did not suffer from diabetes. But after 5 years of revalued, 234 people affected by diabetes. About 17 percent of people who suffer from diabetes is rarely moved. While from a group on foot more than 3,500 steps per day only 12 per cent were diabetic.

"Our study Results are not surprising because some other studies have shown that physical activity can lower the risk of mild diabetes," said Fretts.

He explains, physical activity undertaken will prevent obesity as one of the risk factors of diabetes. Active moving also has an effect on inflammation, glucose and other molecules in the body that can lower the risk of diabetes.
